Online Workshop: ISO/IEC 17020:2026 - Key Changes and Transition Information

Join us for an in-depth online workshop exploring the revised ISO/IEC 17020:2026, Conformity assessment – Requirements for bodies performing inspection.

We’ll guide you through the key changes from the 2012 edition, explain what they mean in practice, and outline what inspection bodies should consider as they prepare for the transition. You’ll leave with practical guidance on implementing the new and revised clauses within your organisation, along with a clear understanding of IANZ’s approach to the transition to ISO/IEC 17020:2026.
